"phrase """"sapientia est potentia"""" is often translated as ""wisdom is power"". The earliest documented occurrence of the phrase ""Knowledge is power"" is from Imam Ali (599-661 CE), as recorded in the tenth-century book Nahj Al-Balagha (originally in Arabic). He said: Another account of this concept is found in the Shahnameh by the Persian poet Ferdowsi (940–1020 CE) who wrote: ""Capable is he who is wise"" (in Persian: توانا بود هر که دانا بود). This hemistich is translated to English as ""knowledge is power"" or ""One who has wisdom is powerful"". A proverb in practically the same wording is found in"
"that with knowledge or education, one's potential or abilities in life will certainly increase. Having and sharing knowledge is widely recognized as the basis for improving one's reputation and influence, thus power. This phrase may also be used as a justification for a reluctance to share information when a person believes that withholding knowledge can deliver to that person some forms of advantage. Another interpretation is that the only true power is knowledge, as everything (including any achievement) is derived from it. Terry Brooks. ""First King of Shannara"" Ballantine.

Until recent times, at least in the Western tradition, it was simply taken for granted that knowledge was something possessed only by humans – and probably ""adult"" humans at that. Sometimes the notion might stretch to ""Society-as-such"", as in (e. g.) ""the knowledge possessed by the Coptic culture"" (as opposed to its individual members), but that was not assured either. Nor was it usual to consider ""unconscious"" knowledge in any systematic way until this"

According to Foucault's understanding of power, power is based on knowledge and makes use of knowledge; on the other hand, power reproduces knowledge by shaping it in accordance with its anonymous intentions. Power (re-) creates its own fields of exercise through knowledge. Foucault incorporates this inevitable mutuality into his neologism power-knowledge, the most important part of which is the hyphen that links the two aspects of the integrated concept together (and alludes to their inherent inextricability).

In 1775, Samuel Johnson wrote: “All knowledge is of itself of some value.” In the 19th century, Coleridge (1825) stated that : “The worth and value of knowledge is in proportion to the worth and value of its object.” Auerbach (1865) asked: “What is all our knowledge worth?"" although he proposed no answer.

Potentiality and potency are translations of the Ancient Greek word ""dunamis"" (δύναμις) as it is used by Aristotle as a concept contrasting with actuality. Its Latin translation is """"potentia"""", root of the English word potential, and used by some scholars instead of the Greek or English variants. ""Dunamis"" is an ordinary Greek word for possibility or capability. Depending on context, it could be translated ""potency"", ""potential"", ""capacity"", ""ability"", ""power"", ""capability"", ""strength"", ""possibility"", ""force"" and is the root of modern English words ""dynamic"", ""dynamite"", and ""dynamo"".

In the essay, “” (1784), Immanuel Kant describes the Age of Enlightenment as “Man’s release from his self-incurred immaturity”; and, with the phrase ""Sapere aude"", the philosopher charges the reader to follow such a program of intellectual self-liberation, by means"

In this, he is echoed by Francis Bacon who was influenced by another prominent exponent of skepticism, Montaigne; Sanches cites the humanist Juan Luis Vives who sought a better educational system, as well as a statement of"

It is argued by several historians and philosophers that the beginning of the Enlightenment is when Descartes shifted the epistemological basis from external authority to internal certainty by his ""cogito ergo sum"" published in 1637. As to its end, most scholars use the last years of the century, often choosing the French Revolution of 1789 or the beginning of"
